19.5C in mine today. Feels way too hot. I wish I'd turned down the storage heater now.

Yeah still fettling with my individual weather compensation curve on the heatpump(similar to trying to run storage heaters efficiently in terms of time and effort)

The cold spell really hit my curve as it was set too low for flow temp at the lower temperature scale. Now it's probably a little too high and not enough angle downwards with this increase in temperature.

But getting there lol

Night - 10 degrees.
Morning 13 degrees.
Day 11 degrees
Evening 13 degrees

Repeat.

Lounge thermostat controls heating. Set for 16 day and night, then 18 from sunset to 10:30pm. Have added digital temp probes to boiler so can now see flow and return temps, allowing me to have the flow at 70 to ensure hot water tank heats up without taking an eternity and the return is always below 50, around 40-46 as the flow spends ages in the 60-66 zone. When first measured the flow/return delta was only 10-15 degrees, so reduced pump speed one setting and a delta of 20deg C obtained. Hot water tank set to 57, again with therm to give visual indication.

Could you share a link to the digital temp probes? I tried cheapo infrared thermometer gun and it wasn't very accurate 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074BSC1XD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have purchased 6 of these and they all read within (+/-1 deg C  of true temp) and agree with two others I already had. So not 100% but good enough to work out the temps being seen. I too tried the gun approach but the surface material being pointed at and distance it was used at gave wildly varying answers.

Huge rise in temp overnight  to 12 c now outdoors in S. Yorks . Main room is now 14 c and feels fine. I have adapted to the cold and don t need any heating on at all
.I have a target of 1000 gas kwhs in December and this temperature will help achieve that so I won t be using any gas CH at all while its like this

Down to 15c now but we do have 4 windows & a door open.

I use the same type of thing... My solution for securing the sensor to the pipe -

From the mild weather overnight it's a barmy 21.5oC

I know this is probably a misspelling and you meant 'balmy', but I briefly forgot the thread title and thought it really was 'barmy' as in 'ridiculous' for anywhere in the UK to be that warm in December!  

(I do enjoy when a typo/misspelling results in something that could work just as well as the originally intended word.)

I also made a typo at work today instead of bigger I typed !!!!!!😂😂

Tis the season

My Breath-o-meter is -ve in the lounge but +ve in the bathroom which makes the tea-powered visits somewhat brief.

EH - seems you are mixing °F and °C in your above post!

Typo - edited - should have said 15.1 but the first two digits transposed! 

Far warmer today down here thank goodness - it was an almost tropical 12 degrees as I bowled down the M11 this morning. Interestingly, the basement area of our office is the coldest it's been, however - it usually stays pretty OK down there in spite of only having  single fairly small radiator. Not today though!
